Qi Jiawang felt that Qi Ji was hiding something very serious from him. At noon a couple of days earlier, Qi Ji had rushed out after receiving a phone call. When he returned, he brushed it off with some random excuse.
Qi Ji had looked terrible when he came back that day. Qi Jiawang had secretly listened outside the door and vaguely heard the words "bring back" and "exposed."
Bring who back? What had been exposed?
Qi Jiawang had asked Qi Ji twice more afterward and, for the first time ever, been scolded by him. That only made him more convinced that something was wrong.
After lunch at a restaurant, Qi Jiawang said he wanted to wander around outside rather than return to the hotel with Qi Ji. Qi Ji sent him some money, then took a taxi back alone.
The moment Qi Ji left in his taxi, Qi Jiawang hailed another and followed him. When the car reached the hotel, it did not stop, but kept going and turned onto another road.
There were plenty of cars on the road, so Qi Ji did not notice anyone following him. Only when his taxi stopped outside the Psychiatric Hospital did he become suspicious of the other car.
Qi Jiawang told the driver, "Keep going. Find somewhere farther away to turn around."
The driver said, "You're a strange young man. Taking a taxi just to go for a drive?"
Seeing the car continue down the road, Qi Ji dismissed his suspicions, assuming it was merely passing by.
The taxi turned around and returned to where Qi Jiawang had first gotten in. He paid and got out, unable to understand why Qi Ji would go to the Psychiatric Hospital.
